Henry HOOFT Obituary
HOOFT (Henry):
Passed away at Busselton Hospice 20.12.2013 surrounded by his family. Adored husband of Jan, loving father of Kellie, Graeme, Michael (dec), Kim and Gary (dec). Father-in-law to Mark, and Karen. Amazing Grandpa to Ashleigh, Kyle, Jake, Jess, Em, Teana, Alyssa, Anneke, Simone', Flynn, Adam, Jessica and Reece.
Finally at Peace.
HOOFT (Henry):
My beautiful, beautiful husband. What a love story we could tell. You were my hero, my rock, my lover, my best friend. We stood beside each other through such tragedies holding each other up with love, laughter and memories. The pain of losing you is indescribable but with the legacy of love you have left through our children and grandchildren I will go on for you as promised. How special I am to have been loved by you my wonderful man. How lucky I am to have someone that makes saying goodbye so heart- breaking. Go peacefully my sweet darling.
HOOFT (Henry):
Dad/Grandpa, It was so hard to say goodbye to you. We wanted to keep you close, but we know you are now without pain. You have shown us all so much love and, although you are no longer here with us, you will live on forever in our hearts and fond memories. Your legend will live on and your legacy is endless. Lots of love always. Kim, Karen, Anneke and Simoné.
HOOFT (Henry):
There are no words that we can say that will ever describe our love and respect for you. You have been an amazing father and grandfather to us and our lives have been blessed for having you in them. Gone is the face we love so dear, gone is the voice we loved to hear. The tears in our eyes we can wipe away but the ache in our hearts will always stay. Enjoy your campfire under the stars. We love you always.
Kellie, Mark, Ashleigh, Kyle and Jake.
HOOFT (Henry):
To a beautiful grandpa. You will always be in our hearts, never forgotten. Death ends a life not a relationship. Love always, Teana and Alyssa.

Dearest Jan, We are so very sorry to have heard about Henry passing. This has come as a shock and our thoughts are with you and the family at what must be a heart wrenching time. With such graciousness and humility, I truelly hope all who knew Henry would have taken a leaf from his lifetime of experiences to realise why he was who he was and live with a portion of his example. They say angels come in and go out of our lives for various reasons. Whilst I only knew him for a few short years I knew who he was and was very impressed with such a gentleman. He had an enormous heart. I believe he was ready for his rest time and will be with his sons for that support and love never-ending. Too young but he lived a wealth of time in these years it was his time to take another role - to now watch over you all and protect you from another place. I believe he is with you all always. Thank you to you and Henry for your love and respect of me. I wish you all the love from us and your family to help you through this time. Again we are terribly sorry. Our sincere condolences. Lots of love Helen Paul Gabriella Biddle xx

From the moment we met we knew that our friendship would last a lifetime. You my friend gave us a lifetime filled with love, laughter, tears, fears, joy, loss and happiness. All of that will remain with us until our paths cross again.
We have so many memories to cherish of our times in the Pilbara.
We are so grateful that we took the time to see you so recently even though we found it hard to say a final goodbye. Our world was a better place with you in it. Jan and family, we feel your loss and extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you all. Henry was a very special unique human being who touched each and everyone of us. He will always live on in our hearts.
